Just disable your data on your CAN sim and use data only on your travel sim. Easy setting on your device. Turn off the auto data switching. Inbound SMS should be free on all carriers while roaming. Sending SMS triggers charges.

Worked for me the last 2 years of trips to Taiwan/HK/Japan/Singapore/China.
